The union claims to have 190,366 members but has received just 6,134 online contributions from 2,144 donors. According to statistics, only about 12 in every 1,000 people have contributed to assist colleagues. The true number will be even smaller because the fund is open to contributions from citizens of the public who can commit to recurring payments.

However, the timing may have been strange, with Wales barely defeated 16-14 by England at Twickenham last week, leaving them fifth in the six-team table.
